2nd Palaeontological Virtual Congress, che sarà organizzato a Maggio 2020. After a first successful edition, with more than 160 contributions and 170 assistants belonging to 29 different nationalities, we have considered to organise the 2nd Palaeontological Virtual Congress (2nd PVC) with the same purpose of spreading worldwide the most recent scientific advances in palaeontology in a fast, easy and economical way. This new edition will take place on May 2020, being exclusively developed in a virtual environment, and organising by a young group of researches belonging to the Universitat de València, Museu Valencià d’Història Natural and Museo Paleontológico de Alpuente (Spain), the University of Bath and the University of Bristol (UK), and Universidad Nacional de La Plata (Argentina). Oral communications and posters about any palaeontological field will be presented through an online platform created ad hoc. The simplicity of this new format will allow for low-cost
2 registration fees (5€) and saving travel and maintenance expenses for the delegates. Please, visit the webpage of the congress (http://palaeovc.uv.es/) for more detailed information.
XV International Palynological Congress -XI International
Organization of Palaeobotany Conference 200 Years of Palaeobotany 12-19 September, 2020 - Prague, Czech Republic
Since 2009, the world community of palynologists and palaeobotanists has met every four years to discuss the latest research, and to exchange experiences. The meeting is promoted by the collective efforts of the International Federation of Palynological Societies (IFPS) and the International Organisation of Palaeobotany (IOP). Every talk consists of 15 minutes for oral presentation and 5 minutes for discussion. Every paying participant can present one talk as a speaker or can show one poster. Individual participants can be co-author (not speaker) of more than one talk and poster. Organizers in some cases may change the character of contributions from a talk to a poster presentation based on time and space pressures, and also room availibility. Authors will be contacted in advance. Website: https://www.prague2020.cz/
PhD Position Palaeoecology
Within the framework of a project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, a 4-year PhD position is available at the Institute of Plant Sciences and Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of Bern, Switzerland. The overarching aim of the project is to study the impact of past climatic changes and anthropogenic disturbance on the range and genetic diversity of different tree species in the Swiss Alps. This will be achieved by analyzing pollen, plant macrofossils and ancient DNA (aDNA) deposited in the sediment of two lakes since the end of the last Ice Age.
The research will ultimately allow assessing the future genetic diversity of mountain forests under current climate change conditions. You’ll find more information in the attached job advertisement (also available here: https://ohws.prospective.ch/public/v1/jobs/f51b3ed5-2ba0-4a50-80c8- e30c5f65f294) or on our website (www.ips.unibe.ch/research/paleo/popdyn).
The position is open from January 2020. Salary follows the SNSF standard for PhD students in Switzerland. Please send your complete application, including motivation letter, CV, academic record, MSc diploma and reference letter or contact address of your MSc-supervisor as one pdf file to:
christoph.schwoerer@ips.unibe.ch. Applications are reviewed until the position is filled. Further information can be requested at the same email address or found at the following websites:
